What is the cost of OCLC’s Digitization Services? And what is the general price range of a normal project?
It is hard to provide a general price range, since collections and requirements vary so much. Digitization projects, services and costs can be as unique as the collections selected for digitization. While many projects have fundamental similarities (i.e., DPI selection, derivative file creation, source material format, etc.) there are also many characteristics that can make apparently similar projects completely different. For instance, source material size and condition impact handling and preparation costs; DPI selection and image resolution impact image creation costs; metadata requirements, derivative file choices and image enhancement choices impact post-processing costs. Project pricing can be generated after we understand the nature, size, and condition of your collection; the type of image output you require; the options you require for image description and alteration; and finally, the type of delivery method you intend to use for your digital collections.
